Know what you can build.

ZoneScout turns a BC address into a zoning report: the zone, how many homes the lot can hold under Bill 44 (the provincial Small-Scale Multi-Unit Housing rules), floor space ratio, height, site coverage and setbacks, each figure cited to the municipality's zoning bylaw.

The numbers come from each city's own zoning tables and GIS layers, the same data behind every map on this site. Lots in the Agricultural Land Reserve, heritage-protected lots, and lots without confirmed water and sewer are flagged, because each of those can change the answer.
